Flight Training for Every Goal

Whether you want to fly for fun, earn your first pilot certificate, add an instrument rating, or pursue aviation professionally, Smoketown Flight Center offers flexible training options built around your goals.

New FAA MOSAIC Rules • Sport Pilot Has Changed

No FAA Medical. More Aircraft. More Possibilities.

The FAA’s new MOSAIC rules recently transformed Sport Pilot flying. The old limitations have changed — Sport Pilots are no longer restricted to the small Light-Sport Aircraft traditionally associated with the certificate.

At Smoketown Flight Center, our entire fixed-wing training fleet is Sport Pilot eligible — including the Pipistrel Alpha, Cessna 150, Cessna 172 and Beechcraft B19.

No FAA Medical Required*

For qualifying Sport Pilot operations, an eligible pilot may use a valid U.S. driver’s license instead of an FAA medical certificate.

MOSAIC means Sport Pilot can now be a practical path to flying traditional general-aviation aircraft — not just the light-sport airplanes of the past.
